416 – So Send I You

So send I you to labor unrewarded, To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing So send I you to toil for Me alone.

So send I you to bind the bruised and broken, Over wandering souls to work, to weep, to wake To bear the burdens of a world a-weary So send I you to suffer for My sake.

So send I you to loneliness and longing With heart a-hungering for the loved and known Forsaking home and kindred, friend and dear one So send I you to know My love alone.

So send I you to leave your life's ambition To die to dear desire, self-will resign To labor long and love where men revile you So send I you to lose your life in Mine.

So send I you to hearts made hard by hatred To eyes made blind because they will not see To spend, tho it be blood to spend and spare not So send I you to taste of Calvary "As the Father hath sent me, so send I you"
